The producers are the orchids, the seeds, the banana tree, and the grass. The primary consumers are the macaw, fruit bat, grasshopper, and the tapir. The secondary consumers are the python, iguana, frog, and caiman. The jaguar can be classified as a secondary consumer or a tertiary consumer. The decomposes are the fungi, worms, and bacteria.

Symbiotic Relationships

Parasitism

This relationship is between two organisms: a parasite and a host. The parasite benefits by taking what it needs from the host, while harming it. An example of this is leeches taking blood from organisms.

Commensalism

This relationship is between two organisms, where one benefits, while the other doesn't benefit, but is not harmed. An example of this is Bromeliads using some trees to get higher toward sunlight, but they do not harm the tree.

Mutualism

This relationship is between two organisms, where both are able to benefit from each other. An example of this is Leaf Cutter ants bring leaf parts to fungi, and the fungi in return gives the ants food.

Humans Impacting the Environment

How Can We Impact the Environment?

Humans are impacting the environment in too many ways to count. These impacts can be good or bad. The positives are helping endangered animals, controlling wildfires, cleaning the environment. However, humans also cause negatives. They cause air, land and water pollution, and are weakening the Ozone layer in the atmosphere.

Orchids

Orchids play the producers. They make their own food and have the most energy.

Jaguar

The jaguar is a secondary/ tertiary consumer. They have to feed on other organisms, and receive the least amount of energy.

Fungi

Fungi are decomposers. They break down deceased organisms for food and help clear its waste.
